Tenures in Transition, Tenures in Conflict: Examples from the Zimbabwe Social Forest1
The landscapes of rural communities are commonly divided into areas in which distinctive resource uses are practiced and for which there exist particular types of property rights. Such tenure niches for different resources may overlap where those resources themselves occupy the same space (e.g., land and trees). Further, competing legal and utilization systems (e.g., national and local) may place the same resource in different incompatible tenure…

A Neolithic Site at Ronaldsway, Isle of Man
When, in 1935, Dr Grahame Clark rediscovered the unpublished finds from a site at Glencrutchery, near Douglas in the Isle of Man, he at once realised that he had come upon the relics of a culture that was new to British archaeology. Its age and affinities were quite unknown, and in his most useful pioneer study (Clark, 1935, pp. 85–91) of the material, Dr Clark suggested that it should be assigned to a period which he called the ‘Ultimate Bronze …

Notes on the Discovery and Exploration of a Pile Structure on the North Bank of the River Clyde, east from Dumbarton Rock
Position and Construction.-The structure, which from its proximity to the Hill of Dumbuck has been called the Duinbuck Pile Structure, is situated about 1 mile east from Dumbarton Rock, and 4 feet above low-water mark and 5 feet below high-water mark. At high water or during spring tides there is a depth of water on the structure of 5 to 8 feet from present level, and 12 to 18 inches additional down to the wooden floor, the difference being made …

XI.— An Identification of the Compiler of a Manuscript in the possession of the Earl of Verulam, relating to a Treaty between King Charles I. and the Parliament, in 1648
On the 29th November, 1860, I had the honour to exhibit to the Society of Antiquaries a folio manuscript belonging to the Earl of Verulam, which contains an account of the Treaty between King Charles I. and the Parliament, held at Newport in the Isle of Wight in the autumn of 1648
Some Notes on Facts in the Biography of Sir Simonds D’ewes
IT is one of the many advantages attendant upon gatherings like the present, that they furnish opportunities for directing attention to the biographies of celebrated persons connected with the districts visited.Local interest thus excited brings to light facts before unnoticed, and gives an opportunity for putting upon record floating traditions which may possibly contain some germs of truth, or may lead inquirers into new fields of investigation…

II.— The Authenticity of the Paston Letters
The doubts which have lately been thrown upon the authenticity of the Paston Letters form a peculiarly appropriate subject for the consideration of the Society of Antiquaries, not merely because historical and antiquarian literature would suffer a grievous loss if the reasonableness of those doubts could be established, but more especially because in the process of their establishment some blame must necessarily fall upon this Society, for having…
VII.— Observations on a Manuscript Account of the Treaty of Newport, A.D. 1648, in the possession of the Right Hon. the Earl of Verulam
By permission of the Right Hon. the Earl of Verulam I am enabled to exhibit to the Society of Antiquaries a folio MS. volume which contains an account of the Treaty held at Newport in the Isle of Wight in the months of September, October, and November, 1648, between King Charles I. and certain Commissioners appointed by the Parliament
VIII.— Observations upon William Penn's Imprisonment in the Tower of London , a.d. 1668: By John Bruce, Esq., Treas. S.A. With some new Documents connected therewith, communicated by Robert Lemon, Esq…
Mr. Hepworth Dixon's very able and interesting biography of the great Quaker philanthropist, William Penn, contains the best account which has yet been published of the circumstances under which he was imprisoned in the Tower of London in the year 1668. That imprisonment was an event which exercised a most important influence upon the whole of Penn's after life. It attached him to the faith of Quakerism by the strong link of a public persecution …
XXXII.— Report of the Committee appointed by the Council of the Society of Antiquaries to investigate the circumstances attending the recent Discovery of a Body in St. Stephen's Chapel, Westminster
The Committee appointed by the Council on the 20th January, 1852, to investigate the circumstances attending the recent discovery of a body in St. Stephen's Chapel, Westminster, with power to have drawings made and with directions to report to the Society, beg to report, that, having obtained the necessary permission from Charles Barry, Esq., and secured the services of Mr. Scharf as draughtsman, they proceeded, on Friday the 23rd January, to the…
XVIII.— Defence of Sir Ferdinando Gorges against a Charge of having betrayed Robert Earl of Essex. With a Letter from John Bruce, Esq. Treas. S.A., to J. Payne Collier, Esq. V.P.S.A
Among the many striking incidents which occurred during the trial of Robert Earl of Essex, in 1601, none seem to have more strongly attracted the attention of the people than those which relate to the evidence and conduct of Sir Ferdinando Gorges. The testimony of Sir Ferdinando excited the impetuous Earl much more than the ungenerous selfishness of Bacon, and almost as much as the vituperation of Sir Edward Coke, or the sudden interference of Si…
XV. Observations upon certain inaccuracies in the published Letters of sir Thomas More; in a Letter by John Bruce, Esq., F.S.A., addressed to Thomas Amyot, Esq. F.R.S., Treasurer
Having some years ago communicated to the Society of Antiquaries, in a letter addressed to you, certain documents relating to sir Thomas More, you will, perhaps, allow me again to trouble you upon a subject connected with that illustrious sufferer for conscience-sake
XVI. Letters illustrative of the Gunpowder Treason: Communicated by John Bruce, Esq. F.S.A. in a Letter to Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., F.R.S., Secretary
I beg to transmit to you copies of two letters connected with the history of the Gunpowder Treason, which I think will be found worthy of consideration by the Society of Antiquaries
XXIV. Inedited Documents relating to the Imprisonment and Condemnation of Sir Thomas More: Communicated by John Bruce, Esq. F.S.A., in a Letter to Thomas Amyot, Esq. F.R.S., Treasurer S.A
If you agree with me in considering the two documents appended to this communication to be worthy of the attention of the Society of Antiquaries, I shall feel myself obliged by your transmitting them to the Secretary. They relate to that pure-minded sufferer for conscience-sake Sir Thomas More, whose character and fate render any thing which concerns him in the latter period of his life, of interest to the constitutional lawyer and the historian,…
XVIII. An Outline of the History of the Court of Star Chamber, in a Letter from John Bruce, Esq. F.S.A., addressed to Thomas Amyot, Esq. F.R.S., Treasurer
The jurisdiction of the Court of Star Chamber is connected with a variety of curious questions relative to the ancient “Consilium Regis,” which, although often approached by writers of great reputation, do not appear to have been as yet satisfactorily elucidated. Whilst men were within the reach of this powerful judicature, they seem to have been unwilling to inquire too curiously into its origin; and, since its overthrow, the loss, or destructio…
III. Observations on the circumstances which occasioned the Death of Fisher, Bishop of Rochester; in a Letter from John Bruce, Esq. F.S.A. to Thomas Amyot, Esq. F.R.S., Treasurer
Few men have suffered the extreme penalty of the law under circumstances more calculated to arouse general commiseration, than those which attended the death of Fisher, Bishop of Rochester. It has nevertheless happened, that whilst the most trifling circumstances relating to his illustrious companion in misfortune have been dwelt upon with great minuteness, the fall of Fisher has not been investigated with any thing like a proportionable diligenc…

XIII. On the word “Mass: ” By John Bruce, Esq. In a Letter to Thomas Amyot, Esq. F.R.S. Treasurer
The derivation of the word “Mass” having lately been the subject of our conversation, I am induced to offer you the following Remarks upon it, from which I think it will appear that the word, as used to signify the service of the Roman Catholic Church, is wholly distinct, both in derivation and sense, from “mas” the adjunct to Christ, &c. in the words, “Christmas,” “Candlemas,” “Lammas,” &c. In the former sense it seems to come from the Latin “Mi…
